Ms. Unver, the founder of a non-profit organization and has BA in fine arts, was thoroughly impressed with the performance.
She was most impressed with the state-of-the-art animated digital back drop that sets up the background scenery for each piece, saying that she "liked the background with the 3D images alive and incorporating with the live show."
The digital backdrops present the setting for the large variety of dances featured in DPA, many of which are set in multiple locations.
In the performance, many of the dancers interact with the backdrop as it shows heavenly images coming down to the stage in an interaction that Ms. Unver thoroughly enjoyed.
“It’s just beautiful. It is much more effective because the natural colors—seeing some beautiful houses, the beautiful mountains. Just to feel the nature of the country is beautiful and with all aesthetic art and music—choreography,” she said, referring to the interplay between the backdrop and the performers on stage.
“I thought it was really very good in terms of incarnation production, bringing the country here,” she said. “You really directly feel the country.”
“Simple, beautiful and effective. In art that is remarkable, it’s a remarkable production.”
“Virtual reality becomes reality, the performance, stage and reality becomes virtual reality, so I liked that—one transition into another. It’s much more modern and actually much more direct and effective in a sense,” she said.
A story-based dance in the performance Heaven Awaits Us Despite Persecution, shows current events happening in China, depicting a family being persecuted for practicing Falun Dafa, a traditional spiritual discipline. For Ms. Unver, this dance was quite moving.
She felt that raising awareness in society using performing arts was effective. “When you have it in an art form it is much more powerful and strong,” she said.
The show’s two hosts' introductions, to the dances, in both English and in Chinese was also appreciated by Ms. Unver.
Ms. Unver also expressed that she would like to learn to speak Chinese, saying that she is "open to learn, basically understand better because we are in a global world."
